A former Denver airport shuttle driver today admitted to a plot to bomb the New York City subways, saying he was recruited by al-Qaeda in Pakistan for a "martyrdom plan" against the US. Najibullah Zazi, 25, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit murder in a foreign country and providing material support for a terrorist organization. He faces a life prison sentence without parole at a sentencing in June.

"I would sacrifice myself to bring attention to what the US military was doing to civilians in Afghanistan," Zazi, a native of Arghanistan, told a federal judge in a Brooklyn courtroom. Law enforcement officials told the AP the jailed Zazi recently volunteered information about the bomb plot during a meeting with his attorney and federal prosecutors. A source said Zazi decided to offer the information after being warned that his mother could face criminal immigration charges.

WHAT? The dipshit wants to aid in destroying the United States but wants his mother to live here, why, because his homeland is full of dirtbag religious fucks? Deport the bitch anyway. She is terrible at raising kids. Probably took him to too many houses of "worship".

The best interrogation technique depends on the individual being interrogated. The underwear guy caved when his daddy talked to him. This one protects his mother. Some will be so hard that they want martyrdom and literally have already given up all material things. They fear nothing but the idea of not being a martyr.
